Fuel question, CIS

[roccit_53 at hotmail.com (C Boyko)]

Just a quick one, on my 79 (Klaus) which is a 1.6 with CIS/points, I have a 
ticking sound which seems to be coming from the fuel line between the filter 
and the distributor when I shut it off. It ticks maybe 10 or 20 times then 
quits. I'm suspecting this line isn't the original one, it looks to be about 
10" long, and makes a full circle before reaching its destination, and it 
has a heavy rubber coating on it, which is cracked. By comparison, my 80 has 
a shorter, to the point, hard looking line in the same location.


So what do you think the ticking's all about? (the fuel filter's an unknown 
quantity, it's a candidate for replacement) And should I swap that line from 
the 80 into it?

One more handy tip from Cathy: Your 8V will run like ass if you do the plugs 
and leave one plug wire off (Doh).

Anyway, as usual, feedback is welcome. Unless it involves donating the car 
to someone.
Cathy
